Covergirl Lashblast Mascara, NYX Sharperner, NYX Concealer Jar in Green and Purple

So I've gotten two Covergirl Lashblast Mascara, a couple of items from NYX including the sharperner which I can use it for my NYX Jumbo Pencils. Speaking of which, it reminds me that I haven't uploaded my NYX Haul 2 which I got earlier in January or February this year. So you might be probably wondering why get green and purple concealers? Well, different concealer color neutralizes different flaws.

As you can see from the color wheel, the opposite of purple is in fact, yellow. Hence, purple concealer can be used to brighten up yellow skin and its good for covering under eye circles. As for green concealers, it can be used to cover blemishes, pimples or any red patches.

So this is my overdue NYX Haul 2. I think I have been posting a lot of hauls lately.

NYX Haul 2

NYX Haul 2 comprises of a couple of NYX Jumbo Pencils (Oyster, Lavender, Strawberry Milk, Yogurt, Gold, Iced Mocha, French Fries, Pots and Pans, Slate, Lemon and Horse Radish), Round Lipgloss in Peach and Honey and Round Lipstick in Thalia and Indian Pink. I have gotten these because Juicystar07 (Blair) said that French Fries is a very good base to work with. My personal favourite for an everyday look would be using both Strawberry Milk and Yogurt. From this haul, I am loving another two items, Indian Pink Lipstick and Peach Lipgloss. Both of them look lovely on bare lips.

I was experimenting with different ways to create smokey eyes and I came up with a semi-smokey eyes which can be carried off both day and night time. The trick is to use a lighter shade in the middle to give it more dimension, while the darker shade should only focus at the sides to keep the middle portion 'clean'. Finish it out with eyeliner. You should draw a longer line that extends out of your eye to give it a sultry look. So here it is, the final product.

Products used:

1) Skin Food Honey Duo Shadow in #2
2) Etude House Eyeshadow in #4
3) Maybelline Impact Express Smooth Felt Liner

And of course, do put on mascara as it would make your eyes look much bigger. I didn't because I was just experimenting with different looks.

As you all know, apart from makeup, I love to blog about food too. I was doing some grocery shopping at a local supermarket and I saw these cookies and it was like calling out to me.

It contains flax seed which is commonly consumed by body builders to increase muscle recovery time as well as reduces the chances of getting high blood pressure. What's more, it has got zero trans fat! And the price is pretty decent too. Say $4 per pack. It has got cinnamon taste in it. An absolute favourite I would say!

FOTD (Products used):

1) Koji Eye Talk
2) Lancome Teint Idole Ultra
3) MAC Select Moisturecover
4) Lancome Mat Finish
5) Lancome Blush Subtil
6) MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil #Engraved (For tightlining)
7) Beautify Transplating Gel and Natural Fibre (One coat)
8) NYX Round Lipstick in Indian Pink
9) NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped

I really liked how I did my eyes. For once, it looks bigger. Haha. I felt in love with tightlining almost immediately when I saw the results. What's not to like about it? It makes my eyes appear larger without being afraid that it might smudge! But I really dont like my nose. Its so big and flat. I remember I once read in Cleo that now one can inject nose fillers to make the nose bridge higher without having to go through surgery. If I never remember wrongly, its about say $700+ per shot at Camden Medical.

My current favourites include NYX Round Lipstick in Indian Pink. Its really pretty!!! Especially when topped with my all-time favourite NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped. I use my NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped almost on top of every other lipstick to 'seal' and matify the color.

1) Loreal Double Extension Mascara



2) Fasio Mascara Base and Hyper Stay Mascara Shock Free Curl





3) Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara



and even the latest one which I bought from Rimmel failed to show me results.

Till then!

And my newly-painted nails! It does look prettier in real life. Speaking of which, I am starting to doubt the ability of my camera. It is starting to fail me. Could it be planned obsolesce? I certainly hope for because I wouldnt want to get a new camera for the decision making process can totally kill me. I want a DSLR. But but.. its too heavy for me. I cant even take the weight of a few more books, let alone a DSLR and lens.

So here they are..

And today.. I went to Sephora wanting to get Too Faced Shadow Insurance. But they run out of it. Can you believe it? I was so so so sad. Both outlets. Can you imagine it? They would be restocking soon so I think I'm gonna lay my hands on it soon, hopefully. Tried the Paul&Joe eye base but it was so cakey. Its more like concealer. I like the Too Faced one because it glides on smoothly. Matt and neutral color finish. Blends well with skin tone.

And, guess what? I finally received my NYX purchase! YAYS. All the way come Uncle Sam. Am so so so happy and excited when I received it.

All of my current NYX

Okay, something happened while I was trying to get the lipstick out. Because normally if you take out the cap, you should be able to see the lipstick. But on my first attempt, this was what I saw.

So I thought maybe I should twist and see if anything would happen. &Indeed it smudged and broke the top part of the lipstick. And gosh, I was so sad. Before you start saying that I am stupid by breaking the top part. But mind you, i kept tugging and twisting but the top part just wont come up. Other that than, I was very satifised with all of the products. Luckily the lipstick which I broke was in deep red with shimmer. Its one of the colors which I like the least among all but still favoured because its highly-pigmented plus the shade did look good.

This was how my poor lipstick looked.

Swatches of the NYX round lipstick. Its scary how much fine lines I have at the back of my palm. :X

The lip glosses were pretty too. However, I was a little disappointeed in the nude pearl shadow. It was more gold than beige or neutral. But otherwise, I think I would be ordering from them again.

Lastly, I get so fascinated that none of my lipstick colors look alike. I cant imagine how did they do it. They may look similiar but are not 100% identical.
